~Kita~
I stood in the middle of my little clearing, the only light was from the moon and the stars. But my eyes were closed.

~2 a.m., where do I begin?
Crying off my face again
The silent sound of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed
I'm the ghost of a girl
That I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
That I used to know well~

I took a deep breath and began putting more force into the sound of my voice.

~Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again~

Opening my eyes to look up at the sky, a gentle breeze blew around me and through my hair.

~Too afraid, to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night
Or the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me till I fall asleep
I'm the ghost of a girl
That I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
That I used to know well~

More sadness crept into my heart and my eyes stung.

~Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again

Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me
And the lonely

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again~

My tears overflowed and I collapsed to my knees, curling into a ball. "I need you, Mama, I'm not strong enough for this." I laid there for a while just crying and calling out for my mom.

"Pathetic, I thought heroes didn't cry."

"You're a real rotten asshole. You know that, brat? Why are you this far out in the woods? You should be in bed."

"I heard something and came to see what it was. I didn't expect to find a hero wannabe crying for her mommy."

"You're telling me, you don't cry when you miss your parents?"

"My selfish parents left me."

"Your parents were heroes that died on the job. So was my mother." I stood and wiped the dirt off me. "But you wouldn't understand the importance of that. You're just a kid. Growing up without my mother was tough, but to grow up without either of your parents must be tougher. Get back to bed."
